The Complete Skier

From your first wobbly steps on the nursery slopes to the advanced skiing required on black runs, this guide has advice and information on skiing topics which include choosing a holiday, skiing fitness and equipment, and the intricacies of parallel turns, moguls and speed-skiing. Step-by-step photo-montage sequences explain the dynamics of skiing turns, and there is information on European and North American resorts, a section devoted to children and a chapter on health and mountain safety. Karen Liebreich has been skiing since she was a small child and Michael, her brother, represented Great Britain in the 1992 Winter Olympics.
